"I hired Sauba Constructions to build a small balcony deck. I had a great experience with them. They were very prompt and professional with the estimate I requested as well as with the work that was contracted. They arrived on time to do the work on two of the hottest days we've had and finished ahead of schedule. The workers were friendly and weren't afraid to ask questions to make sure they completed the job to my satisfaction. They also cleaned up the premises afterward. I highly recommend Sauba Constructions!"

"I desperately needed a basement window replaced, it was broken and the frame was falling out. J&Ms guys showed up ready to work and had a new window in a few hour installed. They also asked me how I wanted this or that done, which I appreciated greatly. We are very happy with the new windows and will likely have them back for future projects."

"I love it! Framing and hanging sliding doors that separated kitchen from living room. This is a project that I have wanted to do for a long time and finally got it completed. I own a manufactured home (or as it is called now a mobile home). These homes usually have unique openings and require customized or special orders. John was extremely helpful and brought my vision of what I wanted into reality. He also provided some suggestions which proved to be extremely beneficial. He was quick and efficient with his work. John framed the space from floor to ceiling. John did framing, molding and trim, dry wall (in the space above the doors on both sides), sanded and painted. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend this service."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
